Lately, in the shop, we've been deliberately mixing up old sayings. We end up with stuff like "The grass is always greener just before the dawn." or "We'll cross that bridge like a bull in a china shop."
....juvenile, I know...but it does get funny sometimes..

On our jobsites, we have ethnic days. Everyone must speak with the accent of the selected ethnicity. We do german, italian, pakistani, chinese, french, mexican and (my personal favorite) Scotty from Startrek.
Sample conversation:
Grrab thet wall and we'll set it in place.
Aye, captain!
Push!
I'm giving it all shes got, captain!

I hate to nitpick, but it's "The grass is always greener over the septic tank".

Curiously enough, the grass is usually *browner* over the septic tank due to the shallow depth of the soil before the concrete lid. The grass is, however, greener over the drainfield. The easiest way to find your septic tank is to stop watering your lawn for a week or so in the middle of summer and look for the brown circle or rectangle.
Not that this is really relevant to this oh so important thread....
